[@thijsvanderlee3749]

in the netherlands where I live that would be consedered a decently big tractor, the avarage tractor here is about 150 to 200 horsepower for arable farmers and 100 to 150 horsepower for dairy farmers. We at home run one claas 530 (140 horsepower), a 540 (150 horsepower) and a 550 (160 horsepower) and we only grow seed potatoes.

I’ve got a 1994 Ford 8630 that came from across the pond. Has a foreign language in can. I think it was manufactured in Belgium 🇧🇪 I tell you what, those farmers take care of their tractors bc I’ve only had it 3 years and it’s still clean as a whistle inside and out. Everything still works perfectly on it and that’s rare w that old of a tractor. Disked and bedded 250 acres of corn land this year, but I had to break down and get a new one to help take some load off her. Tried out JD 6155M, case IH 180 magnum & a new holland T7 230. Prob going w new holland. Loved all the tractors though

The 7000 is hard to beat. Other names have tried to match it but Deere really leads in the mid sized row crop market.

Watching grass getting cut is relaxing. That Mowco dose quick work. Is it a disk mower ? I love the smell of rye or any grass cut fresh. Not much grass in NV. Good stuff.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 946 MoCo does use disc blades to cut. The disc blades allow for faster cutting than sickles.

[@MichaelTJD60]

Hey BTP, not sure how often you get up to the northeast, but if you're looking for other unusual or unique tractors, we have a lot of high-crop and high-clearance tractors here in New Jersey for cultivating row crops. Seems like everyone around here owns a Farmall AV or a high-clearance Ford tractor of some kind. There are also lots of JD 6000 and 7000 series high-clearance models with tall wheels all the way around.

John Deere has dominated the mid-size row crop market since 1992 when the 7800 came out. Very solid machines.

Thats how the 7810 looked in Europe.Had the front headlights where the 7800 had theirs

What makes the 4440,4960 & 7810 iconic green tractors?

[@jankotze1959]

I google to see which model 7810 we have here in South Africa and it seems if the majority is the US one but also a lot Euro, I would say 60/40, only my guess. Nice video

[@bigtractorpower]

That is very interesting that you got both versions. South Africa has some unique models. In the 70’s for example the Oliver 55 series and Minneapolis-Moline G-50 series were all sold in Oliver green and decaled as WHITE tractors.

[@jankotze1959]

@@bigtractorpower yes we have them all, we had in the 60's and 70's mainly Oliver tractors for road construction, my Uncle had a Yellow Moline, it was big, I have seen WHITE tractors as well in the 80's, big 6 cylinders, I think it was painted white but not sure, JD is very popular here, JD, CNH, MF amongst others are top sellers, we have our own range construction equipment, pure South African, it is the BELL range, available world wide I guess

[@bigtractorpower]

The WHITE tractors became silver in 1974. In South Africa from 71-73 they were meadow green and in Australia they were Sumac red during the same time period.

[@imot1288]

I live in Finland, and i wonder why almost every video what i see at usa, tractors have narrow tires? I mean even they have duals or maybe triples, all tires are pretty narow. What is the reason for that?

[@henriqueroque3701]

I also prefer wider tyres

[@Lemmi7810]

They only grow row crops as I know so I think it's done for only having the tracks between the rows.

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

The ground is more solid and dry in the US, so you don't need a lot of tread to get good grip. Wide tires are much more expensive. And you also get the benefit of being able to use the tractor for row crop purposes (e.g. wheels fit within corn rows). Many farmers in the US also like to set up their wheels when planting corn so that the wheels don't run over the parts where the planter will plant the corn.

[@ReadingAreaRailfan]

Imot 1 in the US, alot of row crops are planted, so a lot of tractors have narrow wheels so when they spray or weed the crops, the wheels fit between the rows

[@EndaShanahan]

That yoke needs 710s for it to look right well

[@bigtractorpower]

It has narrow row tires.

[@luisgustavoulrich2427]

How big are the tires used on the 7810? I'm thinking of using it for spraying on my 7810.

[@TheWilliamTW]

I think the european 7810 looks way better then the US spec one

[@bigtractorpower]

It does stand out.

[@OkieDoke18]

Not even close. The US version looks so much better In my opinion

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

Based on what I see the Euro spec looks nicer, but the US spec is built heavier (e.g. front axle)

[@TheWilliamTW]

hmm i dont relly think they build just lighter parts for Eu ones acully but idk

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

@@TheWilliamTW I noticed that it has the lighter axle found on the US 7410 and 7210. There's a beefed up axle that is on the US 7510 to 7810

[@romain793]

Another great video! European versions also were more common with front axle suspension (TLS) and Powrquad 24/24 transmission (40 km/h) with single lever and left hand reverser. It is very strange to see a tractor run in north america with a european dashboard in km/h! I even never understood why north america never switched to metric system, which is so much more logical!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Great info to know. Thank you for watching.

[@RyTrapp0]

COST will always prevent a weights & measures conversion. It's significantly easier and cheaper to convert a country smaller than many of the states of the US - especially as technology only multiplies the complexity of contemporary society. Not that it matters anyway, they're just systems, easily converted between in modern life.

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

I thought it was better looking 😂😂

[@bigtractorpower]

I would guess it is similar. Do they chop it for cow feed?

[@peterjames2004]

@@bigtractorpower yes we chop it for cows ..we use it because it grows very quickly ,,and it grows in years where we may be in drought conditions very well .but it only lasts maybe 2 seasons and yes the uk does suffer very dry conditions from time to time

[@vanilakung7563]

How did this euro tractor find its way to Kentucky?

[@bigtractorpower]

Via Minnestoa. This farm just bought this 7810 and 7710. I am guessing that the tractor was used in narrow crop production in MN.

[@SlipShodBob]

From the UK I prefer mph, acres and units per acre for fertiliser the one thing I do prefer that stands out differently is the trailers, bins and silo capacity is in tons compared to bushels

[@adrianchetwynd1334]

I'm sure that the metric system is easier once you get to know it. But the American system of measuring the volume of the harvest is a little strange because even in America, the harvest weigh bridges measure the weight and not the volume of the crop.

[@SlipShodBob]

@@adrianchetwynd1334 it's like why do fertiliser spreaders (prill one) measure their size in litres yet the fertile comes on 600kg or 1tonne bags

[@adrianchetwynd1334]

@@SlipShodBob Presumably it helps because the product is metered by volume and not weight. Imagine just how many more cwts per acre a fertilizer spreader would spread if it changed over to spreading lead pellets without adjustment!

[@mesh1248]

Is that all they feed to the cows rye and corn silage other then some commodities

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes. Rye is seeded over chopped corn in the fall. Chop the rye in early April. Plant corn over the rye and repeat again in the fall. So rye and corn are the silage feeds on the farm.

[@OSUOiler]

That's a nice 7810, looks almost new. I'd like to have one but everyone just wants too much money for them. Still doesn't take away from their attractiveness, though.

175 HP to drive a lawn mower is a bit overkill! Back in the early 80s, the farm I worked owned a John Deere 4240 and it was a breeze for it to pull a very similar mower. Why so many revs? Is the PTO running at 540 or 1,000 RPM?

[@bigtractorpower]

I am not sure what the pto was set at. I think the 7810 was a good match for the mower. I have filmed 946 MoCo’s on e every thing from a Case 2090 to a Deere 8245R.

Why is the European ones different any way? I understand why the run wide single tires. But the headlights?

[@bigtractorpower]

That is a good question. I am not sure although I would guess different regulations. The muffler was one item I did not mention in the video but the Euro 7810 has a safety shield on the muffler.

[@paulbouwman229]

bigtractorpower the headlights and hazard lights are regulated to be at certain height in Europe. As for the guard on the muffler, it's if the tractor has a right hand door.

[@TheWilliamTW]

Would not be fun if it was a bit wet out there with row crop tires = /

[@bigtractorpower]

When it comes to mowing grass they will stay out of the field until it’s dry. They do not want to rut up the ground because they will no till corn in right after the rye is chopped.

[@TheWilliamTW]

at our farm in sweden we are trying to get the grass cut as fast as the grass is dry and for us there is no need to with to when the ground is dry too becouse of us not using row crop tires and i still do not get the point with rowcrop tires why they are used, would be nice if u could explain it :D

[@bigtractorpower]

TheWilliamTW row crop tires allow the tractor to move between rows of corn and soybeans. This is helpful in planting to keep the tire of the seed bed row. It is essential in spraying, side dressing fertilizer or cultivating weeds in growing rows of corn and soybeans.

[@TheWilliamTW]

ok :D , We use our big dual wheels when planting to press down the ground just before the planter insted of leaving the ground loose
